    Notes 
    Several results show up for the Cole family. This particular individual is projected to have been from I-M253 (I1a). The meaning of the Cole family is thought to mean Priest or to have some connection with Christ. The Cole family is thought to have been connected with Cholester which is in Essex, England. And with the Silurian tribe as well. Depending upon true genetics, King Cole may have come from a Royal Trojan line himself, married a Welsh Lady, and had a daughter that married Magnus Maximus. There was also potentially more than ONE King Cole. Either way this family is believed to be connected spirituality of some sort-either by religious or by land or both, to the Welsh, and to the founding of Brittany (Little Britiain, in France, or the Bretons)... I chose this specific example because he was one of the I1a carriers from England who settled in America in the early 1600's.
